[PyMOL] Use of PyMOL for inspection and saving of docking results
from Autodock

Hello,
I'm quite a novice user of PyMOL but I am already impressed at the speed and
beauty of the rendering. But I have some questions regarding it's use for
viewing results of Autodock.
So I normally proceed as follows, i open the PDB molecule say fetch BLABLA
and i get the pdb file...Then i have two options, one is to simply open the
.dlg file then i get only one ligand results which i scrool with the play
button to see all the results, but there is also an option (i use the
autodock plugin, and with that i get all of the results on the screen), but
the problem is how to save everything together in one pdb. file. I tried
with the "write complex.pdb" but it made a strange mess when i look with
other pdb viewers such as Viewerlite.
What can you suggest me to do?
Thank you for the answers!

Hi Msev,
if you download the latest version you'll find what you're looking for. On the
"Score/Rank"-page you can export docking scores and also docking poses in pdb
format. If you save a list containing different ligands it might indeed look
weired when you reload the file into pymol since pymol makes the bonds only
based on the first model. But you can convert the poses.pdb to a mol2 file
with babel and load that into pymol. That should look nice.
Cheers,
Daniel

I already have the new plugin, and unfortunately only the part to view poses
and export the results works for me, but it has a great potential if the
bugs are fixed so great work DanieI.
I make something useful when i converted the poses.pdb to poses.mol2 so
thank you. If i may ask you one more off topic question maybe directly on
your mail concerning Autodock, about some false results (results which
aren't like we expect them to be), if you have some spare time to answer
that?
Thank you for the answer!
